音情報を用いたビデオ・ブラウジング・インタフェース

抄録

In the networked society, dealing with enormous amounts of video information is inevitable. Video handling is often referred to as one of the studies needed for making such information easier to handle. In this study, a new approach to video handling based on auditory information is proposed. A number of sound characteristics is extracted from the sound track of a video for sound indexing, that is, we add information to the video data showing where the particular sound is present. First, we choose a characteristic which appears on the musical sound as an index for music detection. The index is used with corresponding image data and a new video browsing interface is developed.
